SoftGUESS: Visualization and Exploration of Code Clones in ContextEytan Adar and Miryung Kim

We introduce SoftGUESS, a code-clone exploration
system. SoftGUESS, which is built on the more
general GUESS system, provides researchers and
users with a mechanism to interactively explore graph
structures both through direct manipulation as well as
a custom language. We demonstrate SoftGUESS
through a number of mini-applications to analyze both
snapshot and evolutionary code-clone behavior in
software systems. The mini-applications of SoftGUESS
represent a novel way of looking at code-clones in
context, and will hopefully form the basis for other
analysis tools in the software-engineering domain.
